Quicksand
This song from Scott Alan's album "Lifeline" describes the feeling of being trapped in a situation that seems hopeless. With a 6/8 meter and unique instrumentation and style, it provides a refreshing change of pace from the typical upbeat show choir opener, and so it works really well in the #2 slot. It features a tenor solo before the instrumental break.

Somebody send me a tidal wave The current can drown me or help me escape My light has been fading from white into gray All I can do now is pray My voice doesn't matter, I don't say a word My body is battered, my vision is blurred I'm dead in the water, I'm singing in silence The silence is silently heard I'm sinking into the quicksand My arms can't move, my legs they cannot stand The sand begins thickening The light in me flickering in the darkness These tears in my skin are bleeding and dry I'm screaming within--cursing God, why? I try to forget, the pain starts to set A part of me wishes I'd die Time is running out I can't hear a sound How will I break free? Is there hope for me? I'm sinking into the quicksand My arms can't move, my legs they cannot stand The sand begins thickening My conscience is flickering, but I am still holding on As I'm drifting into a memory Where I can't hear the sweetest of melodies I hum it inside my head My body lays there dead As I'm sinking down into quicksand (Scott Alan)
